Daily Observations

WEDNEsDAY.-The best horse in tn
fire-engine team, "Bill," showed up thi
morning with hind leg broken. 1t il
supposed that he backed out of his stal
in the night, and was kicked by the othe
horse, which had stall adjoining. Th
injured horse cost the Corporation twt
hundred dollars, and was a valuable
animal He was offered to anybody wht
wanted him this morning, and Yves
Steele and VIM. II. Behem are trying tC
cure the broken leg by swinging the
horse in standing position, so that the
weight will not be on the injured limb
Horses have been frequently cured OF
broken limbs in this way. The city
hack took breakdown this forenoon.
-. Philip P. Price attended the meeting
at NJ E. Church tonight. He reports a
good meeting in progress at Bethel. 1t

workers in the Church at this place.
d. n. Whetsel, of Buffalo Skull, is in to-
night, at the meeting. .... Mrs. A. d.

Charley Myers, the miller at Franklin
Mill, has been replaced by Mr.. Wells,
father of Billy Wells who formerly ran
the mill. Several changes have been
made in this institution. Rev. P.
Henry is in town. By the way, another
fellow tried to get into the minister's
house, at Franklin Valley, night or two
ago, evidently supposing that the folks
were all away. The man was frightened
away before effecting an entrance. 1t
would hardly be cause of excessive
grief among the angels, if this minister
should, in spirit of prayer, as it were,
dump a load of buckshot into this night

Price is carrying very sore hand, the
result of a fall. -. Miss Annie Cross
